Would you like to meet the Director of HEC, Chris Dunn
and the lead developers of HEC-RAS (Gary Brunner) and HEC-HMS (Matt Fleming)?

They will all be coming
across to London on 25 and 26 October to meet with leading users of the
software. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the software and its
future development path, and to exchange knowledge on how these products are
used in Europe and the USA for flood risk management and also water resources
and channel restoration work.

Over the two days there
will be plenty of opportunities to speak to Chris, Gary and Matt and learn from
the experts. Demonstrations and interactive workshops will feature the latest
thinking, giving you practical solutions to take away
with you.

There is also an
opportunity to showcase your projects where the HEC software
has been used focusing on the new functionalities and efficiencies.If you would like to submit a
poster the deadline is 31 August, please email us
in the first instance to register your interest and we will send you further
guidelines for the poster submission.

On the evening of 25 October there will be
an optional social event to visit the largest movable flood barrier in the
world - The Thames Barrier, followed by a buffet. Your guide will cover topics
including the history of the river and the risk of flooding in London, the

The Author

Chris Goodell is the Director of Applied Research for WEST Consultants, Inc. and a former HEC-RAS Development Team member. Chris teaches HEC-RAS courses around the world and is the author of the popular book "Breaking the HEC-RAS Code."

"Breaking the HEC-RAS Code"

This book covers one of the most powerful, yet relatively unknown features available in HEC-RAS: the HECRASController! The HECRASController API has a wealth of procedures which allow a programmer to manipulate HEC-RAS externally by setting input data, retrieving input or output data, and performing common functions such as opening and closing HEC-RAS, changing plans, running HEC-RAS, and plotting output.
